Because The Wizard has been and fitted the new switch in the dishwasher, which cost a couple of pence under £10.00, and.. WHIZZ.. it works again!
He crawled underneath the bed ~ you'll be relieved to know she vacuumed there yesterday ~ to look at the makings of the bedframe, then went to Leyland's to buy eight wide right angled brackets and having manoeuvred the frame into the right poition, he fired up an electric drill amd hey presto, hey-li-cheese that wobbly old bed frame can't rock about no more!
She, meanwhile, brushed and power washed the steps, pruned back leggy herbs and spoke sharply to one of the Calamondin Orange trees who is not 'perking' up again. Huh, in fact half of him is dead and has to be cut back, poor little trees. They were so happy and full of leaf and blossom until they had to come inside because of the scaffolding and exterior work that had to be done.
Although they were in the bathroom, where you would think there would be enough moisture in the air, but no, they hated being inside, dropped most of their leaves and not one blossom is there to be seen. Two of them have put out new shoots off the major stem but the half dead, well, he's half dead.
Scrummy lunch! A large handful of butternut squash and sweet potato were boiled and in their final few minutes of cooking, she added a handful of skinny beans and a small amount of brocolli, this was placed onto a bed of home grown wild rocket with dollop of COUSCOUS and topped off with a dollop of goaty curd.
The bag of polenta has left the house! In a bag with some goodies that she gave to Rob, badbad polenta, who would have guessed it is SO fattening!
She has to do a couple of errands and then it will be time to change out of her step-scrubbing clothes, wash, put on some face and go off up to the English Speaking Union.
Me, I have had a very exciting day! It's not every day we have visitors who bring such a weird noise making machine (aka powerful electric drill) and who crawl about under beds and do magical things to the whooshwhoosh white box in the kitchen!
So I am quite content to stay at home and digest delicious yumyum. She will tell me about her evening when she gets home and I'll tell you all about it tomorrow.
Farewell from London.. where it has been an extremely happy day in our house.
GeeGee Parrot.
